those with aftermarket wgas be careful

[Remax Realtor]

took my agp wga off yesterday and noticed my flapper arm was bent. The flat part and the nipple on it are both bent. so now im waiting for the car to cool down to gently tap it with a hammer to make it straight again. I did get my stock wga on, but it was vibrating and i lost alot of boost. The max i could push is about 9psi. What really scares me is tapping on the flapper and knocking it off. I really dont feel like removing the manifold and trying to find another one. Btw the wga was on my car for about 4-5 months. Just a heads up for you guys.

Wait, I'm confused. This is part of the AGP WGA or the manifold wastegate itself that's scarying you? I'm confused ...

[MR SPEED]

could you please elaboriate, what was bent? the waste gate arm on the manifold, or the agp actuator arm.

Reading it sounds like the waste gate arm, or flapper arm, on the manifold itself was bent.

Anyone else ever experience this?

[Khryz]

Yeah more on this issue, please.
